Introduction
In this assignment I will create an original questionnaire that focuses on an individual’s health and lifestyle. I
will then ask two different individuals to complete my questionnaire and then return it to me. Next, I will code
the completed questionnaires in order to identify my client’s health and lifestyle strengths and weaknesses. I
will then use these questionnaires in two separate consultations with my clients in order to find out even more
information. I will take photos of evidence of completing these consultations. I will submit the completed
questionnaires, along the photos of the consultation. After this, I will write a report describing the individuals
physical health and lifestyle. I will then explain the impact of the information provided by them in the
questionnaire on the individual’s physical factors. In my explanation, I will consider the factor and how their
health and lifestyle may be having an effect on them. Finally, I will make recommendations for how the
individuals can improve their health and health. I will do this by using evidence and research to support my
recommendations.

Overall, my client’s strengths massively overshadow their weaknesses in their current lifestyle and the choices
they make. They have strengths that cover the majority of the main factors that make up a healthy lifestyle.
They have very few weaknesses in their overall lifestyle, instead they have areas that they want to change in
order to meet personal goals, rather than areas that require drastic and immediate improvement.
The first lifestyle factor that I consulted my client on was their physical activity. Overall, from this I was able to
gather that my client had extensive knowledge and experience of exercise and was a regular participator in
physical activity. This the case because they said that they take part in exercise three times a week, with their
workouts lasting an hour or more. They also said that the type of exercise they take part in most frequently
and the type that they enjoy the most, is weightlifting in a gym environment. The type of exercise that my
client participates in will also have a positive impact on their overall health as according to (sharecare.2019)
‘Weight training not only builds muscle, it may help prevent disease, improve mood and aid in losing weight’.
This is therefore beneficial for my client as this training can improve both an individual’s physical and mental
wellbeing. I would definitely consider their ‘physical activity’ to be a strength in their health and lifestyle due to
the benefits that they will be gaining from taking part in over the ‘recommended 150 minutes of weekly
physical activity’(nhs.2019). This is because according to (betterhealth.2019) “regular activity can improve
your quality of life”; this is because it has both immediate and long-term health benefits which will have a
positive impact on an individual’s day to day life. These include; reducing the risk of developing multiple
serious diseases; improving strength of muscles, bones and joints; and improving mental well-being and mood.
By gaining these benefits from having this factor as a strength, my client is improving both their health and
lifestyle.
However, although I wouldn’t consider this aspect of my client’s lifestyle a weakness and therefore an area for
improvement; they informed me in their consultation that improving their physical activity was a personal
goal. They said that they wanted to start making exercise a priority in their lifestyle; and wanted to do this by
starting to follow a structured exercise plan; which they have done successfully in the past; so that they could
maximise their benefits from their training. This is also supported by the following research “A structured
exercise program helps you save time, allows you to try new exercises, creates more balanced results and,
most importantly, supports noticeable progress in strength, muscle size, movement, posture and
cardiovascular capacity”. (copemanhealthcare.2019). This shows that although it isn’t essential for my client to
change their current physical activity habits; as they are already succeeding the recommended; my client
wants to make changes in order to meet personal goals.
